People sometimes fantasize entire complex scenarios and later define these experiences as memories of actual events rather than as imaginings. This article examines research associated with three such phenomena: past-life experiences, UFO alien contact and abduction, and memory reports of childhood ritual satanic abuse. In each case, elicitation of the fantasy events is frequently associated with hypnotic procedures and structured interviews which provide strong and repeated demands for the requisite experiences, and which then legitimate the experiences as "real memories." Research associated with these phenomena supports the hypothesis that recall is reconstructive and organized in terms of current expectations and beliefs.
人们有时会幻想出整个复杂的场景，随后将这些经历定义为实际事件的记忆，而非想象。本文考察了与三种此类现象相关的研究：前世经历、不明飞行物外星人接触与绑架，以及童年仪式性撒旦虐待的记忆报告。在每种情况下，引发幻想事件常常与催眠程序和结构化访谈相关联，这些程序强烈且反复地要求获得必要的经历，进而将这些经历认定为“真实记忆”。与这些现象相关的研究支持了这样一种假设，即回忆是根据当前的期望和信念进行重构和组织的。
